NAWG weekend Poetry Course 14th - 16th June

Chris Huck • 27 May 2019

Leeds poet James Nash at the beautiful Wentworth Castle

James Nash, Leeds Poet

James says ' I’m a writer, poet and teacher based in Leeds. I write poetry mostly, though I’ve had stories, memoirs and, as a journalist, many articles published in newspapers and magazines. I have a huge amount of expertise in running writing workshops. This is solidly supported by my original training as a teacher and subsequently working in inner-city high schools for many years. I’m a literary host working at many festivals across the country, getting the best out of writers whom I interview at events. I have also edited many collections of young people’s writing as well as adult work with my most recent being ‘Fourteen Festive Sonnets’ for the excellent Candlestick Press.'

James is also a performer of his own work and others and teaches spoken word performance skills.

The cost for this course is £205, which covers Friday and Saturday B&B in single ensuite accommodation, all tuition, Saturday and Sunday lunch, Saturday dinner, tea, coffee and biscuits. We meet in the Arched Barn Conference room next to the residences.
The cost for a non-residential Day Delegate is £105, which covers all tuition, Saturday and Sunday lunch, Saturday dinner, tea, coffee, biscuits.
